ENCOURAGE IMPROVEMENT
Helping your young one in darts starts with encouragement, get them practising at home, not just playing games, they need to learn how to be mentally prepared for the game, scoring, hitting doubles, hitting high scores is great but if you can’t finish on a double you can still lose games so focus on every part of the game with them by practising at home, then put it all together in a game.
